🔴 Earthquake at same time as eruption could have caused Pompeii deaths – study
“Archaeologists estimate that 15 to 20% of Pompeii’s population died in the eruption, mostly from thermal shock as a giant cloud of gases and ash covered the city.
Volcanic ash then buried the Roman city, perfectly preserving the homes, public buildings, objects and even the people until its discovery in the late 16th century.”
